Artists

Mark Hatlestad

Viola

A violist appearing in a chamber-style "Michael Chu & Friends" program.

In short

Mark Hatlestad is a violist scheduled to appear with the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra in Terre Haute, Indiana, as part of a "Westminster Symphony Sundays" concert titled "Michael Chu & Friends." Beyond this listed appearance, no further biographical details are available.

What to listen for

This performance is billed as a "Michael Chu & Friends" program, suggesting a chamber music setting where a small group of musicians, including Hatlestad on viola, join together, likely for intimate works rather than full orchestral repertoire. The viola typically provides a warm, middle-range voice in ensembles like this, often filling out harmonies or taking on melodic lines that sit between the higher violin and lower cello. Listeners attending a "Symphony Sundays" chamber offering can expect a more relaxed, informal concert atmosphere than a typical subscription concert, with music chosen to showcase close listening between a handful of players. Without further program details, specific repertoire cannot be confirmed.
